Chapter 293 Were you scolded?

Chapter 293 Were you scolded?　　BANG!

Shen Li who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen jumped after hearing such a loud sound, he immediately rushed out to see what fell but then his gaze fell on Chen Mi who was groaning and rolling his head on the dining table. He frowned and looked around the room, no one else was there, so that noise, did Chen Mi make it? He walked outside and carefully asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's too sweet! I can't take it!" cried Chen Mi as he cupped his face and shook his head. 

What was sweet? The strawberries? 

Shen Li speechlessly looked at Chen Mi, he couldn't understand why Chen Mi was acting so crazy all of a sudden. 

Yu Dong who was the culprit behind Chen Mi's sudden craziness simply walked out of the room. While she was striding out of the room, her gaze fell on Ye Liu who was standing at the door with a bucket in his hands looking at her in shock.

" What's wrong?" asked Yu Dong feeling a bit uncomfortable under Ye Liu's gaze. " Did something happen?"

Ye Liu shook his head and set the bucket down next to the wooden cabinet before crossing his arms in front of his chest. " I saw that." His expression was deadpanned but Yu Dong could feel the sourness oozing from his body. She arched a brow and chewed on the strawberry that she stole from Chen Mi's mouth. " And?"

" And? Nothing," said Ye Liu, he wanted to ask for a kiss too but he was too shy and reserved to do that. In fact, when compared to others he was the one who made the least attempts to get close to Yu Dong, not that he liked it but his temperament made it impossible for him to say such things out loud especially when he wasn't alone with Yu Dong. " I will be washing the laundry if there is anything you can give to me." 

Though what he wanted to say was ' please give me a kiss' in the end, he could only gape his mouth open and close before he decided to just give up on the entire matter, no matter how much he wanted to ask Yu Dong for a kiss there was no way he would be able to bring himself to say such word in broad daylight. So, it was better to just give it up. He picked up the bucket and walked past her, his ears red with embarrassment.

Yu Dong shook her head as she clasped his wrist, stopping him from leaving. Ye Liu paused in his strides and turned to look at her with a shocked expression, Yu Dong smiled as she hooked her lips. " Stupid." She said and Ye Liu who was suddenly called stupid for no reason so early in the morning, flushed red as he glared at her.

" What do you mean by Stu—-"he began but then something sweet and tingly swept against his tongue, silencing him at once. Ye Liu's entire face flushed as he realised what was happening but he still responded to Yu Dong as he clutched her arms and kissed her back. When the two of them pulled apart, their faces have already turned red and their lips were red and glistening. 

" Next time, just ask, alright?" said Yu Dong as she patted Ye Liu's cheek and pecked him on the lips before she turned around and walked out of the house. After watching Chen Mi eating the strawberries from the backyard, Yu Dong thought about the strawberries and the blueberries she had planted on her farmland. It was better to check up on them too, in case they ripened more than they needed to, it would be a hard task to sell them. The strawberries in the backyard were all ripe and juicy already,  going by the time the strawberries should be ready to pick up.

" Ah Dong Dong, you are up? Where are you going?" Aunt Wang who was driving the ox cart stopped when she saw that Yu Dong was coming out of the house. " Look at that glow on your face, looks like you had an amazing time, uh uh."

Yu Dong smiled at Aunt Wang's teasing. " Good morning, Aunt Wang, I see that you are up early. Did uncle Fu scold you for drinking too much last night?"

Aunt Wang was really happy when she saw that Yu Dong's life was getting better and better. Thus, she drank a lot last night, in fact, she was so happy that she drank an entire jar of alcohol all by herself. Though Uncle Fu didn't stop her, his disapproval was obvious on his face when he coldly watched Aunt Wang get sick after she drank too much and ended up vomiting on the side of the road, he didn't even help her up and simply stood next to the crouching Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang unhappily pouted as she smacked Yu Dong on the shoulder and chided her lightly, " You girl, you really don't suffer any wrong do you—— I teased you just a little yet you instantly reprimanded me."

Yu Dong didn't say anything and just calmly smiled as she walked next to Aunt Wang's ox cart.

" Aish, you have really grown up," said Aunt Wang with a reminiscing expression on her face. " I still remember when you were just this much" she motioned with her hands indicating the size of a grown watermelon. " I could lift you with one hand and now you already have four husbands and a child—— may be another one would be already on the way." She added with a cheeky wink.

Yu Dong laughed softly. " Maybe who knows."

When aunt Wang heard that Yu Dong didn't refuse her words, the last of her worries dissipated, she was worried that after what happened to Fang Chi, Yu Dong might have been reluctant about consummating her wedding night with him but now she could rest assured. Her smile unconsciously became even wider as she looked at Yu Dong and said, " Come on hop up, I will take you where you want to go."

Yu Dong shook her head as she refused Aunt Wang's offer. " I just want to take a look at my fields."

Aunt Wang was instantly reminded of the time when her daughter stole those vibrant red fruits from Yu Dong's fields and immediately felt a bit guilty. The little red fruits were very sweet and their family ate a lot. They were so hooked by its juicy and rich taste that they didn't even ask that little troublemaker of her family where she got those fruits, by the time she found out that those fruits belonged to Yu Dong's fields Aunt Wang and her family had completely gobbled up those fruits. In the end, Aunt Wang tried to give Yu Dong money but the latter refused, now that she was reminded of that incident Aunt Wang once again felt guilty as she hurriedly said, " Come on, I am going to pass by your fields, I will drop you there."

Yu Dong knew why Aunt Wang was so insistent about driving her to the strawberry fields and didn't reject her anymore. " Then I will be troubling Aunt Wang."

" Ah, what's the trouble in this," said Aunt Wang as she whipped the back of her ox.
